Some Saturday Quirkiness

We Moms are totally and completely normal. Well, except for the slight possible cases of "Mom Brain" or "C.C.D". We're just your average, everyday, normal, run-o-the-mill moms! So maybe we have a quirk or two. No big deal, right? Right!

• I have to sleep with a glass of water next to my bed. I just like to be prepared, people! ~ Nan

•I cannot go to sleep with a messy house. I will stay up all hours to at least have it picked up & things put in their proper places...lunches packed, clothes laid out...ect. I would really like to kick it & just sleep for a change. Sheesh! ~Mimi

• I can go to sleep no matter how messy my house is. It drives my husband crazy! I wish I was just a tad bit more like Mimi in this department. Oh well! ~Erica

• The cover lids to the toilet seats have to be down in our house! A toilet with the lid up just makes the whole bathroom seem messy to me.....kind of like an unmade bed does in the bedroom. Sorry, was this waaaay to much information? ~ Nan

• I take both contacts out at the same time. It drives my husband crazy but it saves me time. Until one rips. Never mind.~Mimi

• Sometimes I chew gum in church if my throat feels dry. Sometimes I forget myself and blow loud bubbles. Did I mention I am a pastor's wife and sit in the front row? ~ Nan

• I just can't kick the visual of Mimi taking her contacts out at the same time... any others... HOLY WEIRDO BATMAN! ~Tarah

• Not sure why I love my cousin Tarah... but I do. Holy Weirdo Robin!~Mimi

• Tarah & Mimi sometimes scare we other 3 moms just a bit. ~AnonEmous {giggle}

• I have to check the doors and the stove before I go to bed each night. And occasionally the windows (if it's summer). I am a door-checker and a stove-checker. ~ Nan

• I leave my purse in the car overnight in the garage...HUBS hates it...but it saves me time trying to figure out where it is....I'll give all of you my address in a later post so you can break in for a free shopping spree. ~Tarah

• I cannot go to sleep without making sure our bedroom closet door is closed. I will hop out of bed and close it if it's open. You never know what might be looking out at you..... ~ Nan

• Ditto to Nan's above... ~Mimi

• Sometimes I completely forget to make sure all the doors are locked at night. I'll give all of you my address so Sara's ax murderer can find me. ~Erica

• I cannot apply eyeshadow or eyeliner without opening my mouth to do it. I've tried closing my mouth but it just keeps popping open. ~ Nan

• Even if it is 3am when I am getting ready for bed, I take out my contacts & throw on my glasses to walk to bed. No, I am not that blind...I just have to have them by my bed at night even if it is for only a few hours. ~Mimi

• Whenever I put my makeup on, I always seem to smile at myself for some reason. Not because I'm full of myself. It's more like a twitch and it just happens. ~ Miti

• I spit in the sink when I wash my hands. It started when I was SOOOOO sick while pregnant... always nauseated... Now there's no reason - I just can't kick that habit. I did not just admit that. ~Erica

• I twirl my hair around my finger when I'm bored or need something to "fiddle" with. ~ Nan

• Sometimes, I throw my gum out the window in the car....my kids keep telling me that I am littering but I insist NO. Its better than paper right? Am I littering? I just can't seem to KICK it. ~Tarah

• The first thing I ALWAYS do when I get home is runnnnn to the bathroom and tinkle. ~ Miti

• I have a bladder like a camel and can go 10 hours without a bathroom break. Yep, that's me, "Camel-Girl." Been called it before/ Be called it again. ~Erica

SOOOOOOOO, do all you other moms out there have quirks? Or are you PERFECT like us?
